Great little intimate theatre with first run foreign films and art house films the big chains wont carry. Really comfortable seating. Always friendly staff. Easy free parking on side streets during day. Easy free street parking after 9 pm on Santa Monica Boulevard

Although this cinema is a small part of todays scene, it certainly feels like a throwback to another time, dating back to the 1950s or the 60s. Here you view in an auditorium that which today you can generally only experience in your living room. This is superior, in part because you cant be distracted to go to the refrigerator. Here you can feel and perhaps understand the continuity that the storyteller wants to share. And, if you can, take a like-minded companion.

I know this is going to sound crazy, being that I am a frequent flier of the Marina Del Rey Dine-in theatre.. but after seeing Juliette Naked here (and seeing a photo for RAN - showing soon!).. It pretty much made me almost ashamed of admitting that I frequently go to to the AMCs! God save our Laemmle theatres!

A nice cozy comfortable theater. Very family, date oriented.

I have always encountered very friendly and helpful personnel. Its my neigjborhood movie theater for artsy, independent movies.

Love me some Laemmle! Butiss the old 1 screen

Watched Raise Hell! The life and times of Molly Ivins. It was wonderful and the theater was very accommodating. GO SEE IT!!!!

Great theater. Very laid back vibe. I bought two tickets online, and when I said my friend wouldnt be showing, they offered a refund. Honesty. Imagine that.

Love this theater and here are the Laemmles who are lovely people! Highly recommend for fans of silver screen....

Recently upgraded multiplex with prices a bit lower than area standard. Discount cards good for admission and snacks. Substantial senior discounts on Thursdays.

The best popcorn I have ever had. Staff is helpful and friendly. Seats are old but comfy.

Laemmle is the ultimate destination for art house and foreign movies. Period. This is where you catch all the movies nominated in the foreign film category as you wont find them in the big box theaters! Need I say more?

THE BEST PLACE IN TOWN!!! GREAT FILMS, VERY RELAXING!!!I LOVE TO GO THERE!!!!

Good for Art House & limited release movies in Pasadena; not many like it in San Gabriel Valley, and I like it!

I feel like I need a shower. Restrooms smelled of spilled sewage. Theater seats (theater 2 anyway) smelled like.umwashed homeless men have been sleeping on them. Hard to enjoy the movie in those conditions.

Greatest weekday deal for seniors! Excellent foreign films.

Very good price to see movies. Friendly staff here too

Small movie theatres have that chic, indie vibe that make you feel just a little bit more cultured.Laemmles Royal Theatre is located on the edge of Santa Monica near Sawtelle and has a wide range of indie films. You have to check it out if you enjoy new local experiences!We saw Loving Vincent, which was one of the most breathtaking film experiences Ive ever had. It was created entirely by painting each frame - 80,000 in all. You might not get the opportunity to see something like this in a large chain movie theatre, which is why places like Laemmles are so important in the community!The ticket taker was super friendly and we even got a free refill on our large popcorn. Its reasonable for just $5.75 and they use REAL butter. No weird chemical stuff.Oh, Ill be back.Pro Tips:- Ask for your popcorn refill when you order because theyll give it to you in a cardboard box to bring to your seat (good if youre in a group of people)- Street parking is tough so try the garage off of Colby Avenue

This was my first time at Laemmle theater. Im in love with the setting, seats are comfortable, love small cozy setting, and seeing the star in person, and having an opportunity to ask questions.Surprisingly parking wasnt as bad as I anticipated.

Love the Laemmle Royale. I can always depend on seeing excellent art and foreign films there.

Great theater for non Hollywood movies

Good films nice old house with not great chairs but parking is an issue

Awesome place to find high-quality indie movies.

Great place to catch wonderful films!

A great theatre for independent and foreign films on the Westside!

Best choice of movies, super comfortable seats and great viewing after total remodelling.

For serious film buffs...film curating is brilliant.

Super fresco!!! Watched the Linda Ronstadt documentary....snacks were priced normally, super hip

Love their programs and there are 3 theaters so the offerings are great. And the popcorn is even better!!!

One of the best art house theatres in LA. No parking Lot, so its street parking behind the building about two blocks back. Screen #1 has stadium seating and the original theatres screen frame.

This is a small independent motion picture theater located in west Los Angeles. It is clean and well maintained with comfortable modern seating. I attended the screening of a new documentary there that was followed by a live Q & A session with the filmakers afterwards and the venue was great for just such an event. What I also found convenient was the city parking lot just a block to the east that accepted credit cards. Rest rooms were also clean at the theater. I would not hestiate to attend another screening there.

Same as 2nd Street but l saw the excellent Tea With The Dames today! Found a good space across the Street since they dont have to deal with the Farmers Market but being on Santa Monica Blvd. and near 405 makes it very conjested. Fortunately there are good restaurants and coffee shops nearby where you can wait out the traffic.

I love Laemmle because they support independent movies in the whole world, I wish the best for them.

Really well put together operation. The screens are a little small but everything else from the comfy seats to the friendly staff more than make up for it. Ill go again and recommend to friends.

I am grateful to Laemmle for bringing good cinematic art to the big screen. I had to drive an hour from the east side to be able to watch a decent movie; and I am thankful and hope that other laemmle locations would also sho movie like Capernaum

The Royal is that wonderful old fashioned movie house going experience of times gone by. Its programming is excellent. They always show the best of the best of foreign films.

This is a fabulous theatre. We would love to do business with the owner! We had a great conversation. He is very reasonable and gracious person. Thank you Greg.Truly,SND Film Festival~John Sill

I drive a long way to attend a movie at Laemmle and well worth it everytime.

No parking and they have a bunch of patrons that want to talk during the movie. I am going to avoid this place since I dont want to have to police their theater.

Worth going for the memorabilia (photos) in the lobby, but also consistently showing some of the most interesting international releases.

Excellent variety of indy movies with great seating always available. Aside from worn box office curtains, this theatre offers a nice departure from mega cinema complexes.

The selection of movies in this place is amazing. The movie theater is big, the sits are comfortable, the sound is great... I love it so much. Moreover, the staff is very friendly.

Good spot for indie or foreign films wish i had one closer tah mey in Bell Calif

Great small cinema experience. Would definitely come back if I lived close by or they’re plying another film I’m excited to watch.

This split the one theater into a multiplex, but each theater is nice and doesnt feel like shoebox. Has an ornate proscenium and seats that are stacked high (stadium style).And thankfully they still show art films.

A place to see good international films outside of Hollywood mainstream- all the same.Visit and support this independent movie theater. Employees and owner are extremely friendly.

Good theatre showing good foreign films, most of which we will never see if not for places like this. Excellent sound and projection, good comfortable seating.

We love this theater and love their selection of arthouse films.

Very clean, well managed theatre with great foreign movies.....a breath of fresh air from the commercial trash.

Thank you for showing good quality movies that are not the popular commercial products instead of art.

Love this place, it was my first time, I definitely recommend this place to everyone and the movie was great

This was a very good theater to watch independent film. The staff was very friendly!

Great theater for foreign films and documentaries

Love this little old theatre. Great films selections, good crowds and comfortable seats.

Great little theater, feels homey, comfortable seating

Probably the smallest theater Ive been to on the Westside, but a favorite nonetheless for the often quirky indie films they show. They sell Coolhaus ice cream sandwiches too, which is a plus in my book. Better to buy a prepaid movie card to be eligible for discounted rates.

Love the theater very clean and really cool

Great service, excellent movies!

Super confi, not over crowded wich makes the experience great and the movie selection is always fantastic, one of the few cinemas where I can just go and know the movie playing will be worth my time

Terrific programming, friendly staff. Highly recommend.

A small old theater, with relatively comfortable seating where one goes for the uniqueness and great quality of the non comercial movies, not so much for the looks of the theater inside and outside.

I love Laemmle and the movies they show. Ive been going to this theatre for 30 years, but no more. The last few times Ive been there the experience has been completely ruined by groups of seniors talking through the entire movie. Today I asked them to be quite and was told to shut up. They seem to treat it as their own personal theater. I dont know if its the same people (maybe they live nearby?) each time but its a problem.

Fabulous cinema, with wonderful choice of films.

Small, old cinema for small premiers

Small little theater, the best non mainstream movies, park in city public parking across and behind

Comfortable seating, fun atmosphere, good facilities, as charming an independent movie theater as youll find.

Super duper comfy chairs. Nice little cozy theater.

A comfortable theatre to see movies.

Been going since the 60s. The best in avant garde.

Amazing independent theater. Great place to watch indie and foreign movies.

Always you can enjoy watching the best movies there.

Good selection of films.

Another good Laemmle theater - is a tad older but that gives it charm. Unique lobby and spacious theaters.

Great little place

COOL . You cant double dip here. Watch out for parking tickets

Its an LA treasure! Great Indie and foreign movies at ticket prices lower than elsewhere.

Nice experience, generally the programme features good quality films.

Nice theatre nice staff, comfortable seats

Great independent and foreign that you probably wont see in many other theaters or on Netflix. Great new seats too.

MoviePass + indie + international films ( this location shows mostly Israeli films)

I great place to watch indie movies and documentaries.

I find the customer service soorly lacking...The people behind the counter would rather talk amongst themselves. Ive waited many times while they hold conversations with one another. The attitudes these people have, make my stomach churn.

Best with foreign language movies

Seating is a little awkward but thank heavens for independent small theater venues like this!

Always a great movie playing, and special Senior pricing.

Great selection if documentary, foreign and indie films!!!

Great theatre for small or intimate screenings!

Great movie selections, movie tickets prices are very reasonable

They have such wonderful movies all the time

Wonderful new theaters, greart seats, interesting movies.

These days were the days

Remodeled. Comfortable.

Vintage movie house with the best movie popcorn in Los Angeles!

Incredible deals and great movies!

Art house theater with actual food at concessions.

No slushes

Lovely

Comfy seats, easy parking

Awesome
